It was about five pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a rainless day, it had not stopped raining! James and I were sitting talking about the recent sports, prepared for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. Eventually we got the call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Wood Green and put the wrong fuel in her diesel deep grey Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG lease car in error. She was rather affected apparently, saying "I can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly happen. She had managed to get the car into a protected area and, as it was only a few miles away from where we were, we were able to arrive at the woman without delay. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to return to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off contented and a lot less stressed. Yet another job in Essex well done in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to handle it if you may have poured AdBlue into your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid made out of a mixture of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It can be damaging to your automobile's fuel system, especially in cases where you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the diesel fuel tank. The moment the engine has been switched on the AdBlue will be injected into the fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, resulting in disastrous and expensive problems to your car's fuel system.

If you get in this situation don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our technicians possess the specialised skills and working experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Ahhh, that was a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a rainy Sunday and I was en route to assist an older lady who put the wrong fuel in her diesel classic Kia Sedona in Wood Green. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was stranded along a backwater road en route to visit her grandchildren. I got the location plugged in the Satnav and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I reached the destination and removed the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing the work she said to me, "I'm getting quite absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the vehicle working with diesel because I'd only just purchased it a week back after my previous car, which I used for over twenty five years, eventually died on me". I got the job done and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thank you. What a precious Essex woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Wood Green

I am not necessarily too enthusiastic about working on Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I'd only just departed the family after eating a magnificent Sunday roast prepared by the wife, and I was on my way to deal with a fellow who had filled the incorrect fuel in his dark red Volkswagen. He was only in Wood Green thus I arrived on scene soon. As I pulled up behind the vehicle and got out he said to me "Thank the Lord! I incredibly had my thoughts on other considerations and failed to perceive I had put diesel in my petrol car. Have I brought about damage as a result of starting it?" I determined truth be told there shouldn't be problems and also I would get the fuel drained as quickly as possible for him. Naturally I drained the wrong fuel from the car and put in some correct fuel, and thus another happy motorist had the ability to continue on his trip without the need for fuss. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is what tends to make carrying out work on weekends in Essex a little better to me!

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
